Golden crispy wedges with fluffy centers, ready in 20 minutes using your air fryer for a healthier twist on classic fries.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 4 medium russet potatoes
→ Oils & Fats
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Spices
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon paprika
05 - ½ teaspoon salt
06 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
→ Garnishes

# How To Make It:
01 - Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into 8 wedges, keeping pieces uniform for even cooking.
02 - Place potato wedges in a large bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss vigorously until all wedges are evenly coated.
03 - Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes before cooking.
04 - Arrange seasoned potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding—cook in batches if necessary.
05 - Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. Wedges are done when golden brown and crispy on the outside.
06 - Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get that perfect crunch without the mess of deep frying or the guilt of a fast food run

02 -
- Overcrowding the basket is the fastest way to soggy wedges, so cook in batches if needed
- Soaking the cut wedges in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch and makes them noticeably crispier
03 -
- Choose potatoes that feel firm and heavy for the best fluffy interior
- Let the wedges cool for just 2 minutes before serving so the exterior sets and gets even crispier
